I am a mushroom fanatic! The other day a recipe for
fried curried mushrooms
on
Indonesia-Eats
caught my attention. I really liked the sound of deep frying mushrooms and I was surprised that I had never thought of it before. As if they did not sound good enough already, they were also curried! I don't deep fry very often but I just had to try deep frying mushrooms! In an effort to ensure a nice and crispy coating I decided to go with a heavier batter and a panko breadcrumb coating. While I was thinking about the fried mushrooms and what kind of dipping sauce to enjoy them with I kept coming back to a gorgonzola blue cheese dipping sauce which I decided to go with. The curried deep fries mushrooms turned out great! They were nice and light and crispy on the outside and the mushrooms were nice and moist and warm and mushroomy good on the inside. Each bite of these crispy, crunchy curried mushrooms was magical...mmm... The blue cheese dip went really well with the fried mushroom finishing off a perfect appetizer!

Curried Fried Mushrooms

Servings: 4

ingredients

1 cup flour

1 cup water (or beer or white wine)

1 egg

1 teaspoon curry powder

1 pound mushrooms (I used oyster and king oyster, slice any really large mushrooms to ensure even cooking)

2 cups panko bread crumbs

oil for frying

directions

Mix the flour, water, egg and curry powder.

Dip the mushrooms into the batter and then dredge them in the panko bread crumbs.

Oh, Kevin! I wish you posted this recipe 2 days ago. My mushrooms are now in the trash because I could not find a good recipe. I bought these very fat mushrooms the guy at the market claimed they were oyster mushroom (but I doubt it). I’ve never seen that kind before, and a short research I made online did not bring up anything that looked like oyster and my mushroom, or anything else familiar.This recipe might have worked.

I was always a fan of deep fried mushrooms, but never would I have thought of curry fried mushrooms. I love curry. I also like spicy curry, I wonder how hot Madras curry would work. I may have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

seriously guys are you all agoraphobic or just have you never eaten out at all! let me see garlic button mushrooms...deep fried! Wow who'd of thunk. oh and something deep fried that's curry flavoured what could we create? oh..other than Onion bhaji's, veg Pakora's Samosas etc. hope this isn't too much of a shock
